RE:how to change status code of a page

Hello,

What way you have created that page? Is it part of the Content tree documents or rather the physical document on the file system? Either way, you need to "register it for the system" in Site Manager -> Settings -> Your_Site ->Web site -> Page not found URL.

This way, the 404 response is always thrown when requesting this page.

Best regards

RE:how to change status code of a page

Hello,

If that page is a document from the Content tree, the 404 response is thrown and immediately after that there gets loaded particular document which throws 200 response at the end. This is basically enough for search engines to recognize that the requested page is not available.

If you want the final status code to be a 404 one, you need to create a page not found page directly on the file system (as an ASPX page) and map it the same way in the Site Manager -> Settings section.
